Beauregard Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Chippis, Switzerland
The remains of Beauregard Castle stand on a rocky outcrop at the entrance of Val d'Anniviers, providing strategic views across the surrounding valley.
Initially built between the 12th and 14th centuries, the castle belonged to the Raron family until 1417 when local rebels set it ablaze during civil unrest.
The castle site retains class B Swiss cultural property status and represents regional architectural traditions through its defensive structures and living quarters.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site from Niouc via a marked trail, with information panels featuring QR codes for audio guide access.
Archaeological excavations between 2008 and 2011 revealed a circular water cistern and remnants of a spiral staircase within the castle structure.
